Shake Your Money Maker

I have been working since the day I turned fifteen.

I worked at a pizza place owned by a Turkish family that paid me under the
table and will be most memorable to me as the most illegal experience of my
life.

Nothing like a group of shady foreigner's to make me feel the need to make
a career move.

On to my second job where I coached children for my parents swim team. I
really loved helping kids learn their strokes and to watch them compete
in swim meets. This held me over until I moved to Boca Raton.

Here, in Boca Raton, I made a decision to work hard and in my field of study.
Jobs in communications are all over the spectrum. I really found this to be
niche and so here I stayed.

I have worked for Florida Department of Transportation as their Public
Information Officer. Handling media and writing press releases were apparently
my calling. I long for the day I have a degree and can return back to something similar to the FDOT.

I worked for Florida Atlantic University as a telecounselor in the
Undergraduate Admissions office. I made phone calls to perspective students
and alumnae about upcoming events to attract all walks of life to the school.

I interned also for the Media Relations department of Florida Atlantic
University where I learned even more about what the world of Public
Relations and Communications have to offer.

I needed to write this down to remind myself that my major still holds my interest.

Senior year has made my feelings toward my communication studies waver, just slightly.

I know all my hard work will pay off but it really feels defeating at times.

I am counting down the days til graduation hoping I can hold my head above water until then.
